[MD] Rejecting Quality

I found one of the things I've said where I've appallingly 
and audaciously had the bastardly presence of mind to 
reject Quality:

"I think it an open question as to whether retro-pragmatists 
like David Hildebrand are right about there being an important 
line to be drawn between classical pragmatists like James and 
Dewey and neopragmatists like Rorty and Putnam, one roughly 
centering around the 'radical empiricism' of the former set, 
and supposed lack there-of in the latter. I still tend to think 
that there's simply an unimportant line between the classical 
tendency to talk about experience and the neo tendency to 
talk about language, with no further major philosophical 
implications."

Wow--such an audacious dismissal of Quality.
